Matthew Quijano has been in the mermaid industry for over 10 years. His company, MerrowFins, builds custom mermaid tails for models, hobbyists, performers, music videos, and event companies. Creating mermaid tails is a long and exhausting process that involves sketching, sculpting, molding, pouring silicone, gluing, and painting. The tails are airbrushed with metallic paint, which mimics the appearance of fish scales. | Culture Insider
